Homeowners may decide to increase their living space because of several reasons. You may want to increase the real estate value of your property, need the extra space because your family has grown, want to build a hobby room or a gym at home or want to create a home office. There are several ways of increasing the living space of your property. These primarily include house extensions and loft conversions. The former is more convenient and less costly than the latter.
Many types of loft conversions may not even require planning permission. However, all loft conversions will require approval from the building control department.

If we were to name the simplest method of increasing your living space at the lowest cost, then it has to be rooflight loft conversion. The loft floor is made usable by installing the flooring of your choice, and a staircase is installed to provide easy access to the loft. Electric wiring and installations are carried out to ensure that you can power your lights and use other electric accessories. Heating and cooling systems may be added. The most distinguishing feature of this type of conversion is the installation of rooflight windows. You will not need planning permission for the rooflight loft extension in Petersfield.
Dormer conversions are of numerous types. They are the most versatile, which is why you will find them very common throughout the UK. They involve creating a box-like structure that increases headroom and horizontal space. Conservation areas can benefit from single and double dormer conversions. A full-width dormer conversion can maximise space and give a unique look to your home. Side dormer conversions can increase the headroom of your house. L-shaped dormer conversions are often carried out in period properties, including Victorian houses, and create substantial space. Most of the dormer conversions do not require planning permission. The cost of dormer conversions will vary according to the type you choose. You can rely on us for any type of dormer loft conversion Petersfield.
Properties with hipped roofs often have considerable wasted space under their loft. That’s because hipped roofs slope down from all sides and consume a major part of your headroom. The roof slopes are converted to gable walls and stretched throughout the length of the loft. This results in creating considerable living space as well as height. Detached properties can even benefit from a double hip to gable loft conversion. These loft conversions do not typically require planning permission. They cost more than rooflight and most of the dormer conversions but also provide a much larger living space.
Mansard conversions probably require more work than all other types of conversions. They involve creating a horizontal roof and introducing back walls which look almost vertical. They can be carried out at your property’s rear or front. You can even carry out a double mansard conversion that would create an incredible amount of space. Mansard conversions have a transformational effect on the exterior of your property and make them look modern and highly aesthetic. Most mansard conversions require planning permission and cost more than all other types of loft conversions.
